One Great Album Wonders

[Bjornebye]

Nah. One and a half.

Hahahaha

[stringvest]

The Rolling Stones

[stringvest]

Sade

[Pureblood]

Hole - Live Through This (because Kurt wrote it)

[Pureblood]

Leveling the Land (crusty twats)

[setreal]

Radiohead.

 

Which one?

[Mook]

Two mentions for The Rolling Stones in here?

 

Every album from Beggars Banquet to Exile on Main Street was an absolute belter (I would include Goats Head Soup as well, personally).

[Stickman]

Oh my -- Sticky Fingers is not a great album?

 

 

I love the Stones but being honest every album sounds the same, that's not a bad thing I guess, but they weren't a band to push boundaries.

Led Zep, The Who, Floyd, The Beatles (after 66), Bowie, they all tried to be different on their records, sometimes it worked sometimes it didn't but they experimented with new sounds new techniques new concepts and new ideas

The Stones to be fair stuck to their rhythm and blues sound so for that reason although I think most of Sticky Fingers is a great album (Can You Hear Me Knocking is my favourite Stones song) for me Exile is the only album in which not one song is a filler.

And it's the only Stones album I can put on without skipping one, two or more tracks.

Oh my -- Sticky Fingers is not a great album?

Or Let It Bleed?

[Boss]

Pulp - Different Class

Air - Moon Safari

Portishead - Dummy

Travis - The Man Who

Badly Drawn Boy - Hour of Bewilderbeast

Ocean Colour Scene - Moseley Shoals

22-20's - self titled 

Fat Boy Slim - You've come a long way, baby.

[lifetime fan]

Sex pistols is probably the main shout to be fair. What an album

End of thread.

Pulp - Different Class

Air - Moon Safari

Portishead - Dummy

Travis - The Man Who

Badly Drawn Boy - Hour of Bewilderbeast

Ocean Colour Scene - Moseley Shoals

22-20's - self titled

Fat Boy Slim - You've come a long way, baby.

Spot on with pretty much all of them

[The Golden Eel]

Talkie Walkie by Air is brilliant

[setreal]

Portishead Third is fantastic, as is Better Living Through Chemistry by FBS

[Carvalho Diablo]

Badmotorfinger is better than Superunknown - I like both but you couldn't call them a one-album wonder

And Down On The Upside was another belter.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Her last album, Blank Project, was fantastic. It sold next to fuck all but it was really good all the same.

Man is a cracking record too.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Ice-T's Original Gangster and Wu-Tang's 36 Chambers are much better than anything else they've done, though the overall quality of the other Wu albums is much higher than the overall quality of other Ice-T ones

Power is a belting record.

[Carvalho Diablo]

That is a magnificent record.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Black Grape?

 

Nah, both albums they released were brilliant.

[Carvalho Diablo]

Nathaniel Merriweather's Lovage - Music To Make Love To Your Old Lady By.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Anyone mentioned The La's and their only studio album The La's.

 

Temple of the Dog with their one and only studio album of the same name. 

[setreal]

Lovage

 

No, no, no, no. This would mean calling Dan the Automator a one album wonder.

 

So much I could name here, I'll go with this:

 

[General Dryness]

Jeff Buckley - Grace

Yeah, he did fuck all after he drowned.

 

Lazy.

[General Dryness]

Temple of the Dog with their one and only studio album of the same name.

Only formed to do that one album as a tribute to Andrew Wood.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

Can anyone remember a band called Rockpile with Dave Edmunds? They were a British rock and roll/rockabilly band in the 70's, although it was more similar to how the Ramones played at breakneck speed. They only had one album named "seconds of pleasure." Worth a listen to if you like that stuff.
